Hi guys, I'm new here. I have been on Lamictal for about 2 years now. I originally titrated up to 150mg and that dosage worked well for me with very little side effects. I went through a depressive episode and went up to 200mg around 8 months ago. 200 is too high for me and I have gained a bit of weight on it. Probably around 5 lbs. I used to be a regular runner with motivation to run and go to the gym. But since I have been on 200, I have become very unmotivated to exercise... I just started watching tv and eating instead. I am also very apathetic towards everything. It has also affected my sex drive. Not as bad as SSRIs but enough to make me notice. I'm going to my psych in a couple of weeks to ask to have it taken back down to 150. But I am convinced that Lamictal is THE drug for me after having suffered through various antidepressants with horrid side effects. Lexapro was the best for me but only the first time around and it caused sexual side effects I couldn't handle.
